Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two different cognitive-behavioral combined programs, including video games or kaleidoscope, on the pain, fear and anxiety experienced by children who apply for therapeutic or diagnostic venous blood collection, and their parents' satisfaction levels. In addition, this research aims to create a holistic approach to child health due to the evaluation of both children and parents. The population of the research will be children aged 8-10 who come to the Children's Blood Collection Unit of Karaman Training and Research Hospital between February 2022 and March 2022. The sample of the study will consist of 96 children and their parents who applied to the Blood Collection Unit on the specified dates, met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The pediatric blood collection unit provides service between 08:00 and 16:00 on weekdays. In order to determine the number of samples, power analysis was performed using the G*Power (v3.1.9) program. It was planned to carry out the research with a total of 96 children and their parents, 32 in each group, considering possible case losses during the research period. Evaluation of the data will be done in the computer environment with the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 22.0 package program. Percentage distributions, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, analysis of variance will be used in the analysis of the data. In addition, the variance of the groups will be examined with the Levene test in order to make further analysis. In cases where the variance is equal, Bonferroni analysis will be used in post hoc advanced analyses, and Dunnett T3 analysis will be used in cases where the variance is not equal. The research findings will be evaluated at the 95% confidence interval, at the p<0.05 significance level.
This study uses a smartphone application/web interface (RealTime Clinic; RTC) to collect patient and parent reports of a pediatric liver transplant recipient's quality of life (QOL), and examines the extent to which QOL evaluations can be integrated into care with the help of the application. The QOL measure that is used in this study is the Pediatric Liver Transplant Quality of Life (PeLTQL) questionnaire. Utilization, effectiveness, and efficiency data are evaluated. Hypotheses are fully described in the protocol. The primary hypothesis is that 80% of recruited child-proxy dyads will have at least one RTC-enabled PeLTQL score at 12 months. Other hypotheses look at implementation metrics and patient outcomes.
The purpose of the study is to train New York-based early childhood mental health consultants (ECMHCs) who will apply the Infant-Toddler Climate of Healthy Interactions for Learning and Development (I-T CHILD) tool as part of their standard practice. The study will evaluate I-T CHILD-informed early childhood mental health consultation in 100 New York State-licensed family day care and group family day care programs serving infants and toddlers in lower-income neighborhoods
Comfort, distress and the absence of pain can be described as free from anxiety, somewhat enjoyable and ease (peaceful) situation. The child health and disease nurse should come up with physiological problems of the baby, increase the comfort degree to reduce the stress level of the baby and ensure improvement in the baby's location. This research was experimentally designed to investigate the effect of the baby's own intrauterine heart sound on pain and comfort during the invasive procedures applied to the healthy born babies in the delivery units of the Batman Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital. The research will be performed by selecting samples in a simple random sampling method from the babies who born healthy and timely in the normal vaginal way. The number of samples will be determined by power analysis method after pilot study. The previously white noise will have listened to the babies in experimental group and will be recorded by camera during invasive interventions and the pain and comfort scale will be applied. The scales will be applied to the control group let them without listening White noise but also will be recorded with camera and thus the data will be collected. A nurse working in the unit will perform invasive interventions, later two specialists will watch video records and so the pain and comfort scales will be filled. No study on this subject was found in the international literature review. Based on the need to fill this gap in the literature, it seems that the study will contribute to the field of child health and diseases nursing.
This project proposes to systematically develop and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a digitally delivered, graded exposure treatment for youth with chronic musculoskeletal pain, utilizing a sequential replicated and randomized single-case experimental design (SCED). SCED provides the opportunity to rigorously evaluate treatment effectiveness at the individual level. Development of iGET Living will be based on a series of short iterations, with alpha testing (Aim 1) on a small sample of adolescents with chronic pain (N = 15). For Aim 1, participants will participate in three, two hour focus groups (one per week over the course of three weeks), resulting in 6 total hours of participation per participant for Aim 1. Aim 2 will involve a sample (N = 20 youth) of naïve end-users. Participants will be enrolled in a baseline period ranging from 7-25 days (done to support SCED methodology) after which they will be enrolled in the online intervention program, lasting 6-weeks. Patients will be contacted 3-months post-discharge from treatment (week 22 of enrollment) and will complete self-report outcome measures at this time.
Childhood obesity prevention efforts are needed in the United States, especially for families with low income. Educating parents and caregivers on simple lifestyle and affordable home environment changes is an effective strategy to improve health outcomes for the entire family. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether HomeStyles-2, a nutrition education and childhood obesity prevention program for families with children in middle childhood (ages 6 to 11 years), motivates parents to shape their home environments and weight-related lifestyle practices to be more supportive of optimal health and weight status of their children aged 6-11 years more so than those in the control condition. The study will include the experimental group and an attention control group who will engage in a nutrition education program, Eat Healthy Be Active, that is equal in nonspecific treatment effects but does not overlap on topics covered in HomeStyles-2. This study will be implemented in Florida's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) program, which provides nutrition education and obesity prevention supports for individuals with low income who are receiving or eligible for SNAP benefits. Nutrition Educators will be randomized to the experimental or attention control condition, and will lead participants through virtual, group-based nutrition education series. The following data will be collected: sociodemographic characteristics of the participant and child; child and parent health status; parent weight-related cognitions; weight-related behaviors of the participant and child; and weight-related characteristics of the home environment. Enrollment for this study will begin late-2021.
This project will use a longitudinal design with assessments at baseline (T1), post-treatment (T2), 3 month post-partum (T3), 1 year postpartum (T4) and 3.5-5 years postpartum to examine whether the PMEP improves participants': a) mental health (depression, PTSD) and resilience, b) parenting skills, c) birth, infant, and toddler developmental outcomes, and d) lowers re-victimization rates. We hypothesize significantly improved outcomes in the intervention group compared to the control group at post-treatment and at all follow-ups. The pilot will use a quasi-randomized design, with participants assigned to alternating treatment and control blocks. Analyses will be conducted using intent to treat and per protocol methods. Following group assignment, all women will be scheduled for a baseline interview at a time convenient for the participant. Participant interviews will take approximately 1.5 hours. Mothers will be compensated with a gift card in the amount of 40 USD for each interview. In addition to the core evaluation metrics, mothers' demographic information will be obtained (age, relationship status, employment, education, number of children, income). Following the baseline interview, the PMEP will be provided to the treatment group; participants will receive 2-hours of contact time per week for 5 weeks (2-hour sessions, held once weekly). Women will receive reminder calls the day of each session to identify and resolve any barriers to attendance (e.g., transportation). Taxi fare will be supported for women who are unable to obtain transportation if the bus is not feasible. Following the completion of the PMEP groups or - for the control group - after 5-6 weeks has passed, all participants will complete a second interview. This interview will include all of the core measures of hypothesized treatment change, thereby permitting a comparison between women in the treatment and control groups over time. All women will be invited in a third time when their infant is 3 months old and again when their infant is 1 year of age to evaluate parenting and infant outcomes. Women will participate in a brief phone assessment when their children are between 3.5 and 5 years of age that includes all primary study outcomes.
Parents are children's primary role models, are food and physical activity gatekeepers, and create the structure/lifestyle environment within the home. Thus, parents strongly influence children's weight-related behaviors and have the opportunity to cultivate a "culture of health" within the home. Yet, there continues to be a dearth of evidence-based obesity prevention intervention programs, especially for families with children aged 6 to 11 years, commonly called the middle childhood years. The aim of the HomeStyles-2 online learning mode RCT is to determine whether this novel, age-appropriate, family intervention enables and motivates parents to shape their home environments and weight-related lifestyle practices (i.e., diet, exercise, sleep) to be more supportive of optimal health and reduced risk of obesity in their middle childhood youth more than those in the control condition. The RCT will include the experimental group and an attention control group who will engage in a bona fide concurrent treatment different in subject matter but equal in nonspecific treatment effects. The participants will be families with school-age children who are systematically randomly assigned by computer to study condition. The HomeStyles intervention is predicated on the social cognitive theory and a social ecological framework. The RCT will collect sociodemographic characteristics of the participant, child, and partner/spouse; child and parent health status; parent weight-related cognitions; weight-related behaviors of the parent and child; and weight-related characteristics of the home environment. Enrollment for this study will begin mid-2021.This paper describes these aspects of the HomeStyles-2 intervention: rationale; sample eligibility criteria and recruitment; study design; experimental group intervention theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, structure, content, and development process; attention control intervention; survey instrument development and components; outcome measures; and planned analyses.
Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) often struggle with complex impairments, including cognitive (such as memory and attention), social, emotional and behavioral challenges. There is a lack of evidence-based knowledge about rehabilitation for children with ABI in the chronic phase. The current study, the CICI Study, is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) directed towards children with ABI and their families in the chronic phase. The study will be conducted in close collaboration with schools and local health care providers. The CICI Study focuses on the child's and parents' individually identified target outcome areas and rehabilitation goals. The intervention aims to enhance everyday functioning in the home and school environment by attaining rehabilitation goals in areas noted as challenging by the participants. The efficacy of the CICI-intervention will be measured in terms of goal attainment, burden of brain injury related symptoms, parenting self-efficacy, unmet health care needs, as well as several aspects of child, parent and family functioning.
This study will adapt and evaluate a novel, innovative, and highly scalable parenting intervention that employs video coaching to target responsive parenting, Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND), among women who have been referred to or are in treatment for opioid misuse/addiction.
